Rihanna's Fenty Beauty set slashed by 53% at Boots
Rihanna's beauty brand, Fenty, is arguably one of the most popular and successful celebrity cosmetics companies, revered for its inclusive shade ranges, glow-enhancing formulas, and high-quality skincare and makeup products. And for a limited time, Boots is offering shoppers the chance to get over £40 worth of freebies from the brand as part of a Fenty Beauty gift set.
The Fenty Best of Lip, Eye, Skin Four Piece Beauty and Skin Set has been reduced from £81 to £38, saving customers £43. This kit is exclusively available at Boots, making it an excellent chance to grab it at a discounted price.
The set comprises a blend of skincare and makeup bestsellers perfect for the summer season. First in line is the Gloss Bomb Cream in Fenty Glow, a peach-vanilla scented lip cream that provides a glossy, non-sticky finish.
Following this is the Hella Thicc Mascara, a volume-boosting, transfer-resistant mascara with a tapered wand designed to coat and curl lashes. Next up is the Hydra Vizor SPF 30 Moisturiser, a lightweight sunscreen-cum-moisturiser that hydrates and shields the skin.
Last but certainly not least is the . This purifying face scrub aids in drawing out dirt, oil and impurities, and is suitable for all skin types, reports the Liverpool Echo.
Elsewhere, Charlotte Tilbury has their Summer Icons Beauty Box, offering a rare opportunity to grab some of Charlotte's most adored makeup and skincare essentials at an almost unheard-of 'better than half price'. The Summer Icons Beauty Box stars seven full-size icons and a travel-sized Charlotte's Magic Cream. Worth £189, it's priced at £94 - less than half price - meaning each item inside averages under £12 apiece.
For a mix of brands, Boots has the Get Holiday Ready Bag, filled with glow-enhancing favourites, hydrating heroes, and mood-boosting fragrances. Valued at £124.50, the seven-piece edit is priced at £32, meaning each item averages out at £4.57. Featured brands include Sol de Janeiro and Laneige, as well as Milk, Bobbi Brown, MAC and more.
The Fenty products, although lacking reviews as a box set, have received individual praise. A Gloss Bomb Cream user on LookFantastic raved: "Lovely and glossy gives a real nice shine and the colour is beautiful."
A Cookies N Clean Pore + Blackhead Scrub user praised it as: "One of the best physical exfoliants on the market - skin feels clean without the feeling of being stripped or dry."
A fan of the Hella Thicc Mascara exclaimed: "I love it makes my lashes so long and perfect."
Another user agreed: "This has now become my HG mascara. It gives you the wide, doll-eyed lashes without volume and stiffness."
However, some users did experience issues. One customer who purchased the SPF Moisturiser reported: "This irritated my skin, which is not overly sensitive, maybe due to the fragrant components. Would love it if Fenty could come out with a non-fragrance version."
A Gloss Bomb buyer said: "Smoothing, good colour. It could be a bit more moisturising. Also not a fan of the scent."

I'm a beauty writer who's swapped my go-to £28 mascara for one that's under £10 - and my lashes look better than ever
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more I am a Charlotte Tilbury make-up lover. Look in my bathroom and you'll find the Flawless Filter Foundation; the Contour, Blush and Highlighter Wands; about five Pillow Talk Lipsticks and glittery Beautifying Eye Shadow Palettes galore. Until recently, you would have found the £28 Legendary Lashes Mascara too. It has been my go-to since the age of 18: smudge-proof; long-wear and super-volumising, with just one quick sweep lasting all day. That was until a few months ago when, having run out of my trusty Legendary Lashes, I needed to pick up a new mascara on Kensington High Street. Sadly, my bank account was not in a position to splurge £28 on a mascara (payday was two days away, okay?) so I thought I'd pop into Boots for a cheap one to bridge the gap. The mascara in question? NYX's £9.50 Worth the Hype Mascara. My plan was to use it for two days, then shove it into my bathroom cupboard as an emergency back-up. Except after using it for two months, I can safely say it is the best mascara I have ever used – and a quick scour of online reviews shows plenty of shoppers agree. NYX Worth the Hype Mascara My main issues with budget mascaras are: a) having to apply three layers to get any length and volume and b) near-immediate smudging, so I look like a panda by the time I get into work. I'm happy to say Worth the Hype Mascara delivers serious oomph with just one layer and honestly, does not budge. I'm not talking 'lasts a few hours', I'm talking 'lasts an entire day at Glastonbury / sweaty workout class/ tears at my friend's engagement party'. Don't just take my word for it. NYX's product has hundreds of five-star reviews across online retailers calling it the 'best mascara out there', with one writing: 'It performs like high-end mascara for a fraction of the price… my lashes have never looked so good.' Hear, hear. This is the formula I'll be sticking to going forward (although I may well use the £18 I save on more Charlotte Tilbury products, TBH). But if you're looking for a slightly less dramatic budget buy for your lashes, I've listed some great, natural options below. Happy shopping! L'Oreal Paris Panorama Mascara £12.99 Shop e.l.f.

Good Morning Britain's Ed Balls leaves Charlotte Hawkins stunned with swipe at her 'podgy' appearance - as she warns him 'we'll have words after this'
Melvin Odoom had to intervene and diffuse tension while appearing on Tuesday's episode of Good Morning Britain 's after Ed Balls made a cheeky comment about his co-star Charlotte Hawkins. During the most recent episode of the ITV show, hosts Ed, 58, and Charlotte, 50, were chatting to Melvin, 44, about some of the showbiz headlines. One topic that got people talking about how singer Mariah Carey, 56, has said that 'aging just doesn't happen to her'. Just moments before they shared an old snap of the Ed on our screens, the broadcaster confessed: 'People look the same as when I was 21. But do I want that?' They then shared an old video of Charlotte showing off a white fitted coat while modelling on ITV's This Morning a number of years ago. Charlotte said: 'Oh don't show that one. No one wants to see that. There's a reason why people don't want to see that.' A shocked Melvin asked: 'When was that?!' to which Charlotte replied: 'It was on This Morning!' An intrigued Ed asked: 'Has Charlotte aged well or badly?' He continued: 'How have you aged? I think you have aged beautifully.' Charlotte said: 'Thank you Ed. That is very lovely of you to say.' Ed told her: 'You almost look younger than then. Then you were a bit more podgy.' Charlotte let out a big gasp as she was shocked with what he said. Melvin chimed in: 'Ed, Ed. Stop. Ed. Move on. I'm trying to help you my brother. Move on.' Moments after the segment wrapped up, Charlotte turned to her co-star and asked: 'Podgy?!' The show shared an old video of Charlotte showing off a white fitted coat while modelling on ITV's This Morning a number of years ago (pictured) Trying to get himself out of a very awkward situation, Ed told her: 'I think you look lovely.' Luckily Charlotte saw the funny side of things and said: 'We'll have words after this...' Last week Good Morning Britain viewers called for a presenter to be investigated by Ofcom as he hosted Tuesday's instalment of the ITV show. The latest episode of the programme saw Kate Garraway, 58, and Ed Balls, 58, return to our screens to discuss the latest headlines and newsworthy topics. During one segment the pair discussed the small boat crisis with Michael Gove, 57, and Kevin Maguire, 64. And some think that Ed shouldn't be involved in political interviews when his wife, Yvette Cooper, 56, is the Home Secretary. Some took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts. 'Ed Balls 'grilling' a Labour MP when you're wife's the Home Secretary should be investigated by OFCOM. It's not right...' 'Smug Ed Balls, whose wife is chief of command for protecting the public in this country, should pipe down.' 'I simply cannot stand Ed Balls, he is so smug and has a clear conflict of interest because his wife is a cabinet member (and not a good one either). His smug smile is so annoying!' 'Total embarrassment listening to #GMB this morning nearly every story mentioned by the panel is the actual responsibility of the Home just happens to be 'Mrs Ed Balls', the pointlessness of this 'chat' is truly appalling.' Good Morning Britain airs weekdays on ITV1 from 6am and is available to stream on ITVX.

Labubu underground: Lafufu makers defy Chinese authorities to feed the world's appetite for viral doll
Trolleys piled high with decapitated silicon monster heads, tattooed dealers lurking in alleyways, bin bags of contraband hidden behind shop counters: welcome to the world of Lafufus. Fake Labubus, also known as Lafufus, are flooding the hidden market. As demand for the collectable furry keyrings soars, entrepreneurs in the southern trading hub of Shenzhen are wasting no time sourcing imitation versions to sell to eager Labubu hunters. But the Chinese authorities, keen to protect a rare soft-power success story, are cracking down on the counterfeits. 'Labubus have become very sensitive,' says one unofficial vendor, in her small, unmarked, fake designer goods shop hidden on the 17th floor of a bland office building in Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei district, an area known for cheap electronics. 'We don't dare to talk about it,' her colleague adds. Labubus, a furry bunny-eared elf sold by Chinese toy company Pop Mart, have gone viral this year. Touted by celebrities from Rihanna to Blackpink's Lisa, the 'ugly-cute' dolls have been so in demand that in the UK Pop Mart pulled the grinning monsters from all stores because of the risk of fights breaking out between customers. In the UK they retail for £17.50, while official versions in China sell for between 99 and 399 yuan (£10.30 – £41.40), with resale prices soaring much higher. The hype has been embraced by the Chinese authorities, who have hailed Pop Mart as the latest Chinese brand to gain popularity overseas, following the likes of the viral video game Black Myth: Wukong and AI company DeepSeek. In June, People's Daily, the Chinese Communist party's official mouthpiece, praised Labubus as representing the shift from 'Made in China' to 'Created in China'. 'Labubu's rise fuses China's strong manufacturing base with creative innovation, tapping into the emotional needs of global consumers,' the article said. Pop Mart's elevation to the status of national hero also appears to have motivated the authorities, in a country trying to shed its reputation for being a land of knock-offs, to aggressively crack down on fakes. In April, customs authorities in the eastern city of Ningbo intercepted a batch of 200,000 goods suspected of infringing Labubu's intellectual property, according to state media, with another sting last month catching over 2,000 fake goods. About 40km (25 miles) across town from the Huaqiangbei store, 59-year-old Li Yang* has never heard of a 'Labubu'. But she spends hours each day sitting on a low plastic stool in her high-rise apartment building slicing apart hundreds of moulded silicon monster heads that will later become Lafufus. Surrounded by piles of flesh-coloured components, Li and her neighbour, Wang Bi*, another stay-at-home grandmother engaged in the painstaking work, spilled out into the hallway of their apartments. 'Since we're staying at home, taking care of the kids, doing housework, we wanted to find some gig work,' Li says. Li didn't know where the monster heads came from or were sent back to. The boss of a nearby factory reported by Chinese media to be producing Lafufus flatly denied any involvement, despite the presence of a pile of suspiciously Labubu-like heads piled high in the hallway. 'China has never been so determined to fix IP [intellectual property] thefts, thanks to Labubu's contribution not just as a global bestselling toy but as a soft power tool,' said Yaling Jiang, a Chinese consumer trends analyst. 'Defending Labubu's IP is no longer just about business interest, but [about] national interest.' So the Lafufu market is going underground. Authorities in Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei recently said they would be inspecting vendors for 'counterfeit and shoddy' Labubus. But it doesn't take long to find a dealer. After a quick phone call made by one of the street-side vendors hawking fake designer bags and watches, a slight, tattooed man, his canvas tote bag dripping in cutesy furry keyrings, appeared out of nowhere. He led the Guardian into a busy shopping mall and over to a counter selling hairdryers and sunglasses. With a few furtive glances, the smartly dressed shop assistant whipped out a black plastic bag from behind the counter, full of Lafufus, for sale for 168 yuan (£17.40) each. Fakes likely come from a range of sources. But Li's business model works like this: every few days, a courier wheels over a trolley piled with bags stuffed with hundreds of moulded monster heads to Li's apartment building. The heads are moulded by a machine, but the act of splitting them into two, so that they can be stuffed and reassembled into a finished toy, is fiddly. It requires cutting along the curved edge of the toy's head by hand, using a sharp knife. So Li and her neighbours, all elderly women, are enlisted to slice the heads by hand, with the mystery factory paying them 0.04 yuan a piece. Every time the courier arrives, Li hauls down several large bags of split-open heads, and collects a new batch of elfin models, ready for dissection. One woman estimated she can cut through 800-1,000 heads a day, earning up to 40 yuan. None of the workers interviewed by the Guardian had any idea what a Labubu was. Wang was shocked to hear that the finished products, fake or otherwise, sold for several hundred yuan. But one person in the home factory knew exactly what the toys were. As Li's young granddaughter wandered into the hallway to find her grandmother inspecting a finished toy, she screamed: 'Labubu!'. *Name has been changed Additional research by Lillian Yang
